Who else gets allergy like symptoms when trimming? I heard its quite common.

Been like this ever since I started 6 years ago. Doesnt seem like its gotten worse, but maybe it has a little.

I get a wicked bad runny nose and congestion. If im sweating and a bud touches my skin it gets red and itchy and raised a little.

Thinking of investing in one of those 3M respirator things.

because of my runny nose, sometimes I get mucus mixed with grounded bud while rolling a joint :bigjoint: .
I always thought it had to do with pollen. Marijuana pollen gives me a bad allergy, runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing a lot and sometimes coughing.
when my skin brushes against a plant, I too get red skin, itchy and raised a little.
despite all the above, I still love my palnts :weed:

Couldn't be pollen unless you're harvesting males, but I get the sinus issue also.

I've only found reactions to the odd pheno, mostly I'm fine with it, but the odd plant I'll get itchy/red eyes, runny nose. The odd one I'll get an itch just rubbing up against it. That said, I tend to have bad allergies throughout Spring-Fall so these odd allergies to MJ plants are nothing in comparison.

Volatile terpenes are also in abundance when trimming and inhaling strong terpenes for hours can really give me a headache.

Yeah it is kind of strange, unfortunately the worst effects for me are from trees (specially when budding) and grasses, the most common and heaviest allergens. If I cut the grass without a mask on I'll be "crying" for hours. Even stranger which seems uncommon is I never really had noticeable allergies until after I was 30.

For me it only effects my nose, gets all backed up & numb feeling. Some of you are fucken animals trimming for 6 hours non stop lol my pinky would fall off.

I've ate raw cannabis flowers right off the plants and never had the symptoms like i get during trimming.

Yeah theres definitely something to it more than just "I get allergic to fresh cannabis" cause not all strains do this to me.
